Report Scope
Internet of Things devices is the aggregation of all the sensing modules that are linked
to the Cloud either directly or through a gateway and which data is processed and
valorized in any manner (through selling to a third party, through monitoring of a piece
of equipment, etc.).
This report looks at the Internet of Things market in general, but with a strong
focus on sensing modules. We do not detail the cloud computing industry nor
the data processing services.

maturation
2024
devices are numerous; some, such as the Nest (now Google) smart thermostat, find market interest and
success - while others, i.e. smart forks, smart sprinklers and other smart devices, dont. Other devices
are addressing domains such as wearable electronics and home & building automation. For these devices, we
expect a market volume of 200M units by 2017, representing a market potential of $83B.
One example of a future sensing generation is integrated sensors, which are expected for 2020 and
which will be the one to democratize IoT. Its general description is the integration of IoT-dedicated electronic
components meaning very small, very low-cost, very low-power consumption components like MEMS-based
sensors. The essence of such devices is to be low cost and thus ideal for high-volume applications, with lowpower wireless protocols, ultra-low power electronics. One example of such a device is the integration of a
hazardous chemicals sensor in an industrial workers gear. Another example is the integration of connected
condition-monitoring sensors in a car engine. We expect a market volume of 2B units for these devices by
2021, representing a market potential of $107B.
This report provides a detailed analysis of these generations and the technical and market challenges they
must overcome before reaching the market. Yole Dveloppements analysis shows how these challenges can
be defeated in order to strengthen market growth.

The current technological evolution of wireless transmission regarding protocols & standards.
The recent discussions and actions pertaining to consumer privacy and data security.
Additional topics such as solutions costs, and where market traction comes from.
Also, its still unclear which technological platform will be used, which data transmission protocols
will be chosen, and which business model will be proven. Many applications are striving for the
blue ribbon, but only the proven ones will drive volume.
This report analyzes the strong challenges awaited regarding the identification of those
applications which are expected to provide market volume, and those which are bound to fail.
